I recently came across this question<http://stackoverflow.com/q/16594151/779341> on stack overflow.
Textfields and Textareas when focused get a white background with a blue border. The webview ignores whatever css is applied in the textarea and draws this white background on top of it. In most of the cases it's fine, but if you have a nice background like the OP this is an issue. I've tested the issue on 2.2, 2.3.3, 3.2, 4.0.3, 4.1.1, 4.1.1 and 4.2.2 and it only happened on 4.0.3. So I started digging in the 4.0.3 source and I found the WebTextView<http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android/4.0.3_r1/android/webkit/WebTextView.java?av=f> class. If you take a look on lines 233-240 the method that draws the background always draws a blue rectangle with a white rectangle inside. I believe this is the source of the problem, but I have no clue on how to solve it. As WebTextView class is not part of the sdk. I tried some javascript workarounds, like setting a timeout and changing the background color of the textview on a focus event, or even overlapping a DIV on focus and copying the text to the div. But nothing seems to get rid of the blue/white box. Is this a bug? Any suggestions on how to work around that? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
